Overview
The DS18 ION1200.1D is a full-range, high-efficiency micro digital 1-channel amplifier built for powerful, crisp output from a footprint small enough to tuck almost anywhere in the build. Hi-Level inputs and Tiffany RCA terminals make integration straightforward, and surface-mount component construction keeps the chassis compact.
With a 10Hz–20KHz frequency response and variable full-range crossover filters, the ION1200.1D can be configured to drive bass or mids/highs depending on how the crossover is set. Fine-tune output with the included remote level control knob. Protective coating on the PCB guards against moisture corrosion, and bonded components add vibration resistance.
Power, protection, and clipping LED indicators keep you informed of the amplifier's status, while short-circuit, thermal, DC-offset, and high/low voltage protection keep it operating reliably. Rated 1200W RMS at 1 ohm, 800W at 2 ohms, and 400W at 4 ohms. Sold per each.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
RMS vs. MAX power — which number do I actually care about?
RMS is what your gear handles continuously; MAX is the short burst it can survive without complaint. Match your amplifier's RMS output to your speakers' RMS rating — sizing off the MAX number is how magic smoke gets released.
What does the IP65 rating on DS18 marine gear actually mean?
It's dust-tight and rated against low-pressure water jets from any direction — built for spray, rain, and the occasional wave over the bow, not for full submersion. If something's going somewhere it could sit underwater, that's a different conversation entirely.
How do I match an amplifier to my speakers without guessing?
Add up the RMS rating of everything the amp will power, and pick an amp whose RMS output (at your speakers' impedance — usually 4-ohm) lands close to that total. Undersized is thin sound; wildly oversized is a fast way to blow a voice coil.
Can I mix marine-grade gear into a standard car audio setup, or the reverse?
You can run marine-grade gear in a car — it's just over-built for that environment, no downside besides cost. Running non-weatherproof car audio gear in an open UTV or boat is the direction that causes problems.
What gauge wiring kit do I need?
It scales with your amp's power draw and the length of the run — DS18's OFC kits come in 4-gauge and 8-gauge for a reason. Undersized wiring on a high-draw system is a voltage-drop and heat problem waiting to happen; when in doubt, size up.
